  2. The Context This presentation addresses funds under the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) that may be used for Coordinated Early Intervening Services.

  3. Purpose of IDEA The purpose of IDEA is to ensure that students with disabilities have access to a free appropriate public education (FAPE). FAPE must include special education and related services designed to meet a student’s unique needs and prepare him or her for further education, employment and independent living.

  4. IDEA: Coordinated Early Intervening Services (CEIS)§ 613(f) of IDEA; 34 CRF § 300.226(a) CEIS is a set of coordinated services for students in kindergarten through grade 12 (with a particular emphasis on students in K-3) who are not currently identified as needing special education or related services, but who need additional academic and behavioral support to succeed in a general education environment.

  5. Eligible Students under CEIS§ 613(f) of IDEA; 34 CRF § 300.226(a) • CEIS funds may only be used to provide interventions to students who need academic or behavioral support to succeed in a general education environment. • CEIS funds may not be used to provide interventions to students who currently identified as needing special education or related services.

  6. IDEA: Use of CEIS Funds§ 613(f) of IDEA; 34 CRF § 300.226(a) • CEIS funds may be used for: • Professional development for teachers and other school staff to enable personnel to deliver scientifically based academic and behavioral interventions; • Direct interventions, such as educational and behavioral evaluations, services and supports; and, • Services aligned with activities funded under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act ESEA.

  7. IDEA: CEIS Reporting Requirement34 CRF § 300.226(d)(2) • Each LEA that implements CEIS must report to the State on the number of children who received CEIS and the number who subsequently received special education and related services under Part B of IDEA with two years after receiving CEIS.

  8. IDEA: Required Use of CEIS Funds34 CRF § 300.646(b)(2) • In the case of a determination of significant disproportionality based on race or ethnicity with respect to the identification, placement, or discipline of students with disabilities in an LEA, the LEA is required to reserve the maximum amount of funds to be used for CEIS for children in the LEA, particularly, but not exclusively, children in the overidentified group.
